De-Stress with Distress

I just had to play along with this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge, where the inspiration is this fabulous reflected sunset:

I love sunsets. Love' em. Whenever I see a fabulous sunset (which isn't all that often in the UK!) I have to take a photo. Or two. Three maybe.

I made this sunset by dusting Distress Inks (Wild Honey, Scattered Straw and a bit of Dried Marigold) onto my card piece with Inkylicious duster brushes. You get a really light finish with them. Then I masked the horizon and added a narrow strip of Walnut Stain Distress Ink with blending foam, and added more in the foreground where the tree would go. Used Paper Smooches Bold Blooms for the tree, and added a sentiment from Sentiment Sampler.

I'm also entering it into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, where Anything Goes.
